EDITORS COMMENTS
This promotional postcard showcases Theodore & Co., a popular theatrical production by H.M. Harwood and George Grossmith, which was first presented at the Gaiety Theatre in 1916. The image features the charming cast of the show, dressed in their finest attire, with Theodore, the central character, standing proudly at the forefront. Theodore & Co. was originally part of the acclaimed play "Theodore & Cie" by Marcel Nancey and Paul Gavrault, which premiered at the Theatre des Nouveautes in Paris on September 29, 1909. The music for the production was composed by Ivor Novello and Jerome Kern, adding an extra layer of allure and entertainment. As the show gained popularity, it was brought to the George Dances Co. for a tour, making its way to the Theatre Royal in Chatham on April 22, 1918. This postcard, dated 1918, was likely produced to promote the upcoming performance and entice audiences to attend. The early 1900s were an era of innovation and excitement in the world of popular entertainment, and Theodore & Co. was no exception. Set against the backdrop of World War I, this theatrical pantomime provided a much-needed escape for audiences seeking joy and diversion. The cast's jubilant expressions and vibrant costumes convey the joy and energy that would have filled the theatre during each performance. This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of live theatre during the 1910s and the enduring appeal of the arts, even during challenging times.
